    "The first drop resulted in [...] a small crack on the screen..."
    How does this count as "survives drop test"?

                    Amoled screens can start malfunctioning easily even without cracks . Happened with m30s and j7.
                    Completely fine screens .
                    Not even a scratch and they go black - normal -black.

                      Still worse than kun lun glass v2, and titanium middle frame like Iphone is just another gimmick.
                      Amoled panel still using loop hole fingerprint scanner, resulting pros & cons when u press harder. Can possibly trigger screen issues (green line/flicker) .
                      Frame easily scratched if there's is no coating (armour coats).
                      Glass is glass, another coating (after couple of screen protector changes is enough to make it exposed).
                      Software, smooth but still no extra cooling system for heavy usage (like gaming).
                      8gb ram still exists.
                      Even Korean people use iPhone, even tho' they get discount service.
                      Good lock is easy way out for developers, 💯 sure people will trade in old phone.
                      Because the phone have minimal life spent, (restricted charging/restricted on-screen pressure/software issues after android update/scratch after coating run out/dropped pricetags due to clashing releasing date & offer price after 2 months on sale).
                      Just buy Iphone/Huawei/IQoo/Xperia/Poco/Nubia high end phone, at least for the time being because other brands is selling cheap materials with low quality brand new phone (repeatedly).

If you don't use protection your mobile is not well protected, if you and your partner don't use protection you folks can get pregnant and so on. Its the same with everything in the world. So if some dont like protection don't yell and face the consequences, we all faces this sometimes and a smartphone is not exempt.

                                  Vibe, 24 Jan 2024The device is big enough at 79mm wide so a case worsens itIt's big and wide and putting a case on makes it even more big and wide. In the end, it just becomes oversized POS in the pocket

                                    Vibe, 24 Jan 2024The device is big enough at 79mm wide so a case worsens itIt's a matter of personal preference - some accept even larger size when encased, some prefer it without. Why is there always a discussion on why your personal preference is more objective than someone else's personal preference?

                                      Don't get me wrong, I love the feeling of keeping the phone bare as it is, feeling the cold metal, its structure etc. But as soon as I leave my desk where it rests on an XXL gaming soft pad, I put on a case. Scratches and dents annoy me so I try to keep it pristine for as long as I can.
